Depression in Teens is More Common Than Most People Think
We specialize in Treating depression in Teenagers
If your teen is depressed, you may notice them crying a lot or isolating from their friends and family members. Their grades might fall, and they might seem to lose interest in things that they once enjoyed.
Teens with depression often feel like a burden on others, that their families and even their friends would be better off without them. Sometimes this may lead depressed teens to thinking about harming themselves or even ending their lives.
Of course, not all depressed teens look the same either. In some teens with depression the signs may be more subtle. These may include an increase or decrease in appetite, insomnia or oversleeping, low self-esteem, lack of energy or fatigue, and difficulty concentrating or focusing. These teens may still be attending their classes and even doing really well, but something seems “off”.
It’s important not to ignore the warning signs as depression in teens is highly treatable.
